"If the show is loud but Jesus is quiet, we fail." In Part 1 of the "Mad at the Church" series, Pastor Zeek addresses the frustration that modern church has become more about theatrics than transformation. From fog machines to "selfie-ready" worship, he explores how showmanship can distract from the Gospel. Key Highlights: Performance vs. Presence: Why Jesus warned against doing things just to be seen (Matthew 23:5). The Goal of Church: Moving past the "feel-good" show to focus on repentance and renewal. Focus Realigned: Understanding that while tools like lights and cameras aren't the enemy, they must never replace the Spirit. Paul’s Example: Choosing the "demonstration of the Spirit’s power" over human eloquence (1 Cor 2:1-5). Challenge: This week, seek His voice, not the crowd. Seek His presence, not the performance.
